"...an engaging exploration of duty, guilt, and self-preservation. Michelberg is a frank writer.... continually willing to unpack her guilt while also exploring options for her own emotional survival. A clear-eyed consideration of difficult ethical and familial choices." 

Kirkus Reviews

“I read this book cover to cover and then finally remembered to breathe. Crash is a profoundly human story told with grace and raw honesty. Michelberg is courageous enough to put all of herself into the pages, and we are all the better for it. Crash will stay with you—in your mind, heart, and gut—for a long time after you finish it.”

— Mark Lukach, author of My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward
 

“I couldn’t put this book down. Rachel Michelberg gives the reader the gift of unfiltered honest, without excuses or complaints. She shows us how the clarity of a scrupulous heart can guide us through the worst of times. Crash is an important story told by a remarkable storyteller.”

—JoAnne Silver Jones, author of Headstrong: Surviving a Traumatic Brain Injury 
 

“Crash is a skillfully written, riveting account of Michelberg’s struggle to sustain herself and her family after a tragic event radically alters their lives. As a mother, she is protective, resourceful and competent as she boldly guides her family forward. Vigilant and vulnerable, she exemplifies a woman who speaks her truth however hard that is to bare. Crash will challenge your own sense of what is important in fighting for a family’s well-being.”

—Anna Penenberg, author of: Dancing in the Narrows: A Mother-Daughter Odyssey Through Chronic Illness
 

“A powerful beautifully crafted memoir, ratcheting up the tension with every page. Through its sheer grace and raw honesty it could help tackle a pervasive dilemma in our culture. A truly compulsive read!”

“Michelberg’s writing was fantastic and she held nothing back from scrutiny. Reading this book felt like an intimate look at the life of someone suffering through a time that most of us hope we’ll never have to face and getting through it in a realistic way. Despite putting all of her flaws out for everyone in the world to see, Michelberg was so sympathetic and so easy to understand.”
